2. Losing Items

Anyone can misplace a wallet or keys. However, a person living with Alzheimer’s will often put things in an inappropriate location. For instance, they may put keys in the bathroom sink or a wristwatch in the bread container.

Additionally, they will start to have difficulties remembering what they were doing or where they were before losing the item. In most cases, they need help from family or friends to find the item.

Such incidents tend to become more frequent with time.
